Daughter Raiders

Chapter 222
Don't look at Zhenbeihou's general assembly like a big bastard. If he didn't have goods in his stomach, the old Houye wouldn't worry about handing over Liaodong to him early and returning to the capital to retire by himself. The current emperor would not agree to hand over this border to him. guard.Therefore, Shang Taoran concluded that Zhenbeihou was just taking advantage of his father's injury to create public opinion in exchange for a winter of peace on the border, and this winter... was enough for Zhenbeihou to plan many things.

"What Sister Tao said really makes sense." Su Hao rubbed his face and thought for a moment, and it was indeed like what his daughter said, the winter that just passed in Liaodong was indeed unusually quiet, and it was also a gift for Mu Yuanjiang in Kazakhstan. Before the six major tribes of Erka formed an alliance, it was worthwhile to pretend that he was "too seriously injured" in this way.

But he was still upset.That guy Mu Yuanjiang was really too cunning, first he was told to pretend he was seriously injured, and then he led the Khalkhas to send spies to find out the truth, and finally scared the Khalkhas so much that they didn’t dare to move their nests all winter , but also kept him in the dark, is this bullying him for not understanding military affairs!
But this is his and Mu Yuanjiang's private matter after all, so we can't ask his daughter to get involved.Su Hao thought about all this, and then returned to the previous topic: "Didn't you just ask daddy to ask Xianyun and Brother Chong to leave in a day? But daddy asked Li An to find the escort agency and couldn't wait. If they leave the day after tomorrow, they may not necessarily protect the bodyguards for this trip."

Su Hao will always be able to distinguish between private affairs and official affairs, not to mention that he is a noble scholar, if he is asked to open his mouth to borrow some soldiers from Zhenbei Hou Mu Yuanjiang, but only to send his aunt and concubine back to the capital, he will I can't afford to lose face, and I can't open my mouth.

Only then did Tao Ran realize that the reason why Daddy called her here was probably because it was not easy to tell Xianyun directly, and he wanted to let her know, so he agreed with a smile: "Don't worry, Daddy, Mama Ding has brought someone to take Xianyun. Aunt Yun and Niang Niang have packed their luggage and can leave at any time."

Dad must also be impatient with Shang Xianyun's crying and begging.Although she had already taught Xianyun a lesson when she first came, which made this aunt be honest for a whole winter, and she didn't dare to find faults in the back house, but when this aunt was alone with her father, she couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't let her go. She's a coquettish idiot, daddy is a person who has to do business, and he doesn't have time to entangle with a concubine, so she can only resist...

"Daddy wants to ask you, are you really not going back to Beijing with them?" Su Hao sighed, and finally got to the point.

It's not that he didn't mention this to his daughter a few days ago, but her daughter always shed her head and shed tears, but she just didn't want to leave.What's so good about Liaodong? How can I be happy when I go back to the capital, where I have no worries about food and clothing, and don't have to worry about fear?
"No." Tao Ran smiled without hesitation.

If Dad wanted to force her to return to the capital, he wouldn't ask her so patiently.With a cold face, she ordered her mother and girls to stuff her into the carriage, but could she resist desperately?

"The two female gentlemen in the family were all found by your grandmother after a lot of hard work. All the ladies in the capital are proud to worship at the knees of the two gentlemen. You will not regret staying in Liaodong, and you will not be afraid of being caught by someone when you return to the capital. Criticism, you are the only girl from the Su family who is the least educated and incompetent?" Su Hao asked suspiciously.

"Liaodong is so remote and wild. If you live in Liaodong for two or three years, some vicious people will say that you lack education." For example, Mrs. Deng, the stepwife of Lord Beihou of Laozhen.

Tao Ran suppressed a smile and shook his head: "Miss Tao is Daddy's daughter, as long as Daddy doesn't think I'm ignorant, others are willing to criticize me, and I'm not afraid of getting a bad reputation for being sharp-tongued and mean-spirited, then just go."

In the first lunar month, various families in the Liaodong Mansion hold a big spring banquet. In Daddy’s back house, she is the only decent female family member, and she can only attend by herself every time he accepts an invitation. However, Mrs. Zhenbeihou took Mu Yun and Mu Lei’s three daughters to the General Military Mansion. And always bring her with him.On the face of it, Mrs. Zhenbeihou felt sorry for her socializing alone, but in fact it gave her a reassurance—in this case, Dad's worry can't be called worry, can it?
Seeing that she had her own ideas, Su Hao stopped persuading her.Although Mrs. Yu's temper did improve after giving birth to Brother Pan, and Sister Tao said a lot of good things for her mother, but he was still worried.Instead of sending the daughter back to ask the old mother to work hard to teach and take care of her, it is better to stay by her side and watch it for herself, which is also considered filial piety to the mother.

Besides, since Zhenbei Hou and his wife have made their minds on Sister Tao, it would be a good thing to ask Sister Tao to live in Liaodong for a while.Although Sister Tao is young, she is smart enough. If you see something wrong with Mu Ziwei in the past two years, explain to him quickly. He still has time to repent with the Mu family. After getting along with each other for a few years, Sister Tao will be tougher in the future, won't she?

"Since Aunt Xianyun has to leave early in the morning, my daughter will tell Mama Ding to prepare the kitchen for a farewell dinner." Tao Ran saw her father laughing and sighing, but he didn't force her to leave Liaodong after all, so Completely relieved, he discussed with Su Hao.

Su Hao waved her hand, and she turned around and left. She didn't rush to tell Mother Ding when she left the main room, and went to the east wing first.

"Miss Six, sit down quickly." Seeing Tao Ran coming, Xianyun was extremely attentive, and shouted to the girl next to her to make a cup of good tea, but because Tao Ran had exposed her many tricks early on, and getting along with Tao Ran in the past few months, there was always a gap between words and actions. It is inevitable to have two traces of jealousy and one trace of shrinking.

"Auntie, don't be so polite, I can't sit for a while." Tao Ran stopped him with a smile: "I just came to ask, but Auntie still has something that hasn't been put back, so hurry up and tell the girls to clean it up overnight, my father invited you The Escort will escort Auntie and Brother Chong back to Beijing, and we have to leave early tomorrow morning."

Xianyun took the tea made by the girl and was about to hand it over to Tao Ran when she heard the words, the teacup tilted, and the spilled tea almost scalded the back of her hand.

The master is afraid that she will cry and plead, not only does he not want to see her, he even hastily booked the itinerary, and asked Miss Six to tell her?The sixth girl clearly decided to leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow, so why can't the master allow their mother and child to stay longer even on this day?
One must know that tomorrow is the yamen's holiday, and she wanted to take this opportunity to ask brother Chong and the master to make out for one more day before leaving, but now it's all gone!

Seeing that Xianyun's eyes were filled with tears again, Tao Ran lowered his head in disgust, not wanting to look at her again.Now that you are a concubine, you have to have the consciousness of a concubine. It is really meaningless to use tears as weapons to play tricks every now and then!
Seeing this, Xianyun was extremely surprised.Miss Six actually just came to tell the master what she said, and didn't even bother to explain to her one more sentence?Although she now knows that she can't control whether she leaves early or late, and whether she leaves or stays, she must tell her the reason for this hastily planned itinerary, right?
